Booking a driving test in the UK right now is like the final boss of a dark souls game.

My first games job was paid so poorly, and I wasn't provided with the tech required to do the job. I couldn't afford to move, so my parents let me stay. I spent the majority of my first paychecks on health because of burnout. This industry is not accessible without some level of privilege.

The Develop:Star Awards 2025 Best Mobile Game winner is Monument Valley 3 from @ustwogames.co.uk and Netflix Games! Congratulations! ⭐️ #DevelopStars

I'm speaking at the next Game A11y Gathering! Come along to the event in Brighton or attend online if you're interested. 😊

News just in. Adding alt text to your posts makes you hot 🔥

I finally finished mario wonder. I'd left it at the last few levels for a while because I was sad to be finishing it. But I'm so happy I did because the final levels gave me some good laughs. Also, the interactive credits are very cool.

This Thursday, May 15th, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. As the website states, the "purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion," specifically for people with disabilities. #GAAD #GAAD2025

Everyone should have a "bring a cool rock to work" day. Everyone who bought a cool rock to work today was so happy it was truly a joy. So many cool rocks!

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

has this been done before

What does it take to evolve a creative vision across sequels? @ustwogames.co.uk's John Lau shares how the team approached Monument Valley 3—balancing collaboration, visual style, and interactivity. 🎥 on.unity.com/44VuTh7 #GameDev #MonumentValley3 #MadeWithUnity

Been tinkering around with Lego again. Made this cute micro sandcastle build.

Our GDC talk is up on the vault for free! gdcvault.com/play/1035090...

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

An important reminder as the Supreme Court makes its judgement - not a single trans person was heard from at any point during this case before them, even a trans judge who applied was refused. This is, as usual, the British state acting as cis people to impose their will on trans people.

The thing that pisses me off the most about all this anti trans stuff the UK is adamant is necessary, is that it's presented as protection from cis men, while doing fuck all to actually address cis men being a problem in society. Literally just an excuse to be bigoted and nothing more.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

So excited that Monument Valley 3 is coming to pc and consoles! Nearly 2 years ago now I was researching and prototyping possible gamepad controls/designs. Couldn't be happier to see it actually come to reality. 😄

The ESA and industry partners announced the Accessible Games Initiative at GDC today. This industry-wide initiative provides a unified collection of accessibility tags, intended to help players more easily find out if a game is accessible to them. caniplaythat.com/2025/03/20/a...

people focus a ton on what they call "hard skills" but idc if you're the best accessibility professional in the whole world, if you can't do the "meta" job of getting people on board, making allies, and collaborating I promise you'll get nothing done and piss a lot of people off in the process.

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.

I designed a game for me and my little sister to play in the playpark today. We each picked a stick and put it on one of those bouncy stepping stones and jiggled it to see which stick would stay standing. Slowly other kids joined in. Everyone cheering at their stick to win.

I've been having some fun figuring out how Lego cars are designed by building one in Studio 2.0. Fun fact: Lego figured out that 6 studs wide was the best measurement to work with for Lego cars.

We’re SO proud to see Monument Valley 3 nominated at this year’s D.I.C.E. Awards for Original Music, Audio Design, and Best Mobile Game!💖🥳 @official-aias.bsky.social Check out the full list of nominees: www.interactive.org/awards/84Kd_...

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

I'm 25 today. The first half of my 20's has been hard, but I've also achieved so much. I finished my degree in the pandemic. I was awarded a scholarship to a games summer program. I freelanced, got my first industry job, got promoted. I've worked on 4 released game titles, AND post launch content. 🤯

If I have a task that requires me to get something in another room, I will hold an object in my hand until I have retrieved the other thing I need. For example running out of loo roll, I hold the empty tube in my hand until I've gone to the cupboard and got a new loo roll to replace it with.

2024 was a year of rest, recovery, and rediscovery for me. Lots of hobbies, therapy, music, journaling, reaching out to friends, spending time with family. Letting myself say no to some things and looking after myself. I made so much art, appreciated people more, and I feel so much better now. 😊

I dont want AAA games anymore, i want games made by a little freak with a vision

Go play our game now 🎉🎉🥳

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

There are plenty of scenarios in which spending time and money on features and options is the appropriate solution to barriers. But don't let yourself end up in a situation where you have spend money on them solely to compensate for unnecessarily exclusionary design choices.

Show me a pic on your phone that has your energy, not a selfie.

I is artist, here is some of my work 👀

In a first, the Game Awards actually details some great information about ✨WHY✨ the titles nominated for Innovation in Accessibility. Check it out! #gamedev #a11y www.thegameawards.com/news/meet-ou...

📣 Free on November 19th & in London? Come hang out at a FREE UK Game #Accessibility Symposium at Tencent Games with UKIE I’ll be giving a talk, “You Ain’t Getting Any Younger: Accessibility For You” Catch you all there 👋🏽 lu.ma/c6szl9ed

Today I realised that naming my to-do list 'Quests' makes it infinitely more interesting and like I actually want to do the stuff on the list. Perhaps I'll have to write some quest rewards on there too.

What got you into #gamedev ? I was playing Minecraft and my online friend said he was going to study Game Design at university. Up until that point I didn't even know you could study games or have it as a profession.

I love how the phrase "game dev starter pack" makes us all seem like collectable Pokémon. Like damn I just caught a production type that has 100hp and a move called "Jira".

Hello I am here once again to post my Tiny Glade creations. Have a cute little village with a centrepiece sculpture.

In the past day or so I've had several people ask why I have descriptions on the images I post. It is called ALT text and its primary purpose is to make visual media accessible to people with visual impairments, but there are other benefits, too. You can read more at the link below!

Friendly reminder to please add alt text to all your photos!! 🚨 1. Upload your photo 2. Tap on “ALT” 3. Write an image description 4. Hit save, then post away! Accessibility matters ♿️✨
